Eli Zeal Is About To Learn That To Err Is Human...But To Forgive Divine.
Academy Award nominee (1998, Best Actor In a Supporting Role, Boogie Nights) and Golden Globe winner Burt Reynolds, delivers an unforgettable performance in this incredible story o love, faith, and spiritual awakening.
Eli Zeal (Reynolds) is a bitter Jewish shopkeeper who is shot during a hold-up attempt by the 11-year-old son of a single mother in Washington D.C.. Distraught and with nowhere else to turn, the boy´s mother Tyree Battle, played by April Grace (Finding Forrester, Magnolia), kidnaps the wounded Zeal and along with her son, flees to her small hometown of Waterproof, Louisiana-and a family she hasn´t seen in years.
Thrust into the unfamiliar world of the deep south, Zeal finds himself surrounded by Tyree´s brothers-one battling a severe brain injury (Orlando Jones), the other an angry alcoholic (Anthony Lee)-her hundred year old grandfather (Whitman Mayo) and a mother of irrepressible faith (Ja´net Dubois).
But as they work to nurse Zeal back to health, dark shadows begin to emerge from the family´s past-forcing them to confront a dreadful secret that has torn them apart.
Filled with powerful performances from an ensemble cast, Waterproof is a heartwarming and beautiful story of the search for truth, and the power of forgiveness.
